Go back two hours to just two hours ago.

Liang Yifei and Xie Yifei are in a suite at the Chongqing Hotel.

Coincidentally, they came to Chongqing and settled at the Chongqing Hotel.

"Do you really want to meddle in Tianfu Cola?" Xie Yifei was a little surprised.

At the earliest, Tony's investigation of the situation of Tianfu Cola was just a handy act without a clear purpose: Liang Yifei followed him to Shuzhong as a staff officer to help, and he couldn't just run for nothing, and he happened to encounter the strange situation of Tianfu Cola, so Tony conducted a simple investigation by the way, which was regarded as an explanation to Liang Yifei.

As for whether he can get the benefits, that's Liang Yifei's own business.

Tianfu Cola, Pepsi Cola, between these two domestic and foreign giants, Liang Yifei, Xie Yifei and Tony, all thought that this was a pole with dates or not, that is, there was no need to force it, and there was no way to force it.

There is quite a bit of a Buddhist spirit.

Unexpectedly, after Liang Yifei and Bahrain went to the Tianfu headquarters, their attitude suddenly became very firm when they came back, showing great interest in Tianfu.

Liang Yifei said: "I investigated, Tianfu headquarters is not counted, subordinates, there are 108 bottling plants, these bottling plant equipment, employees are ready-made, and are the best equipment, although the scale of a single is not large, but they are all established in a convenient place, once started, even if there are only a dozen, it is enough to help me establish a production and filling base in Shuzhong." ”

"Didn't you build a factory in Binhai?" Xie Yifei asked.

Liang Yifei nodded, the factory is built to build a factory, but in the future, the production scale of beverages is definitely not comparable to health care products, the current new factory in Binhai City, if all used to produce finished products, the output will be the same as the Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence, or even worse: because the Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence, to put it bluntly, is to add a little traditional Chinese medicine to the sugar water, there is no technical content at all, and the future drink is different.

In other words, relying only on this one factory, the future will definitely not be able to meet the market demand.

Of course, this so-called market demand was predicted under the condition that Liang Yifei had foresight and confidence in himself, not according to the current prediction of most people, including Xie Yifei, that the former is ten times or even dozens or hundreds of times larger than the latter.

After all, Binhai City is an inland city with a high population density, and no matter how capable Liang Yifei is, it is unlikely that he will build one large beverage factory after another in Binhai.

Even if there is land, in contrast, the land taken from Binhai City will be much more valuable than building a bottling plant in the future, whether it is for residential real estate, commercial real estate, or even simply logistics storage and industrial zones.

On the other hand, Shuzhong has a vast territory, whether it is the pharmaceutical factories acquired by Xie Yifei or the bottling plant, in terms of location, the value of developing real estate in the future is very limited, and it is right to use it for production.

After chatting with the old janitor for a while, Liang Yifei was inspired to turn several factories in Binhai into 'stock solution' production in the future, establish a dilution filling plant in Shuzhong, and produce finished products from the factories in Shuzhong, so as to ensure the safety of the formula and greatly save costs.

In the next many years, Shuzhong's policies, human resources, and environment are all suitable for processing and production.

Xie Yifei will develop in Shuzhong in the future, and he and he can help each other.

There is also an invisible wealth in this: Tianfu's bottling plants are scattered in more than a dozen counties in Shuzhong, and the scale is not large, so it is not a 'key care' in the local area, but after all, they are all local enterprises, and they can talk to the local government and win a factory, which is equivalent to having a channel of communication with the local local government.

If he wins a batch, it means that Liang Yifei can deal with a large number of local governments in Shuzhong, and future business opportunities are in it.

"The question is Pepsi and Tianfu, how can they sell the bottling plant to you?" Xie Yifei spread his hands and said, "According to what you said, the new Tianfu is now Pepsi said, Pepsi is not short of that money at all, these assets, it is idle and not used, and there is no need to sell them, even if they are mortgaged to the bank, it is also a steady stream of money." Besides, not using it now does not mean that it will not be used in the future, whether it is Pepsi Cola or Tianfu Cola, if you want to make it bigger in the future, you need a bottling plant. ”

After a pause, he said: "Even if you talk and people sell you a few factories, according to your idea, it is to build a bottling plant for industrial tablets, one or two factories will definitely be useless, let alone twenty or thirty factories to become large." ”

"If possible, I would like to take down more than 100 factories. Liang Yifei said with a smile.

"Impossible!" Xie Yifei didn't even say the uncertain tone word 'bar', and directly denied Liang Yifei's idea.

More than 100 factories, although the scale of each factory is not large, the smallest is only a few filling machines of hundreds of thousands, but the number is not large, not to mention anything else, even if it is willing to sell, how much does it cost?

"That's what I'm saying, of course it's impossible to take it all down. Liang Yifei smiled.

"If you can take down three or five, I'll count you as capable. Xie Yifei shook his head and smiled: "Let's put our minds on the agency, there are not many Pepsi in the mainland, it is an opportunity." ”

"Find me as an agent, people won't develop it themselves. Liang Yifei looked at his watch and said, "Just like we said before, we are all here, and we are all staying in a hotel, and there are dates and no dates, so I'll go talk to Mr. Thomas." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your success!" Xie Yifei teased.

……

……

In Thomas's penthouse long suite.

Liang Yifei sat on the sofa unhurriedly, and instead of answering Thomas's question, he asked back with the same question.

"Mr. Thomas, I'd like to know, what is the purpose of your Pepsi Cola in China?"

Thomas's two pale golden eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he stared at the visitor he had never met with some vigilance, and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a thug, and even if I were, I couldn't do anything to you in the Chongqing Hotel. This place has witnessed the friendship between China and the United States since the beginning of this century, and I respect this friendship very much, so I feel more and more strange. ”

Liang Yifei lit a cigarette and said, "Why did Pepsi come to China to do such a thing?"

"No polite people. Thomas saw Liang Yifei smoking indoors without consulting him, his face showed obvious disgust, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "I ask you to leave now." ”

Of course, Liang Yifei would not leave, and said to himself: "There is one thing I particularly despise about you foreigners, who are obviously doing indiscriminate things, using unfair competition methods and the worst methods to chase profits, but they can fully show politeness and gentlemanly demeanor in their personal life." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Thomas really couldn't stand the rudeness of the person in front of him, and he was even a little scared, after all, he was just a businessman, and the so-called vertical and horizontal eyes were in the mall.

So he subconsciously stretched out his hand, picked up the phone on the bedside, and wanted to call the main station to call the security guard.

"Mr. Thomas, I advise you not to make this call, otherwise I will go to the Chongqing Municipal Government to discuss the next problem, and I am a businessman who is not too big, not too small, maybe I can't compete with international brands to succeed, but I must have the ability to destroy some people's good deeds, in Chinese words, not enough success, more than failure. Liang Yifei said.

"What the hell are you going to say!" Thomas is also not used to the Chinese detours, subtext.

He can speak proficient Chinese, but he has been dizzy for many years with many subtexts and deep meanings in Chinese.

Now what he can understand is limited to the level of 'eating does not mean that people invite you to eat, just a polite word'.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Liang Yifei said: "In order to establish a joint venture with Tianfu Cola, Pepsi spent 300 million in cash, paid 40% of the equity of the new company, and provided a stable income for the employees of Tianfu Cola every month that was not lower than the previous treatment, and finally obtained control of Tianfu, but in just one year, Tianfu Cola's market share fell off a cliff." Mr. Thomas, why is that?"

"I don't seem to have to explain anything to you, I'm only accountable to shareholders. After Thomas finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but still explained, saying: "Running a business is naturally risky, no matter what business you do, you need to have a transition period in the early stage. ”

"Isn't it strange that Pepsi, which has achieved great success all over the world, came to the Chinese market, a virgin land with a surge in consumption and a tilted policy, but it will not operate and fail?" asked Liang Yifei with a smile.

"The Chinese market is the most unique market. Thomas said, "Your system and policies ......"

Liang Yifei directly interrupted Thomas's words and said: "Our system and policy give foreign businessmen the greatest preferential treatment and help, as long as they are sincere foreign businessmen who come to invest, there is no one who does not make money!"

"Mr. Liang, until now, I still don't know what you're going to say!" Thomas said.

"Okay, then I'll put it simply, any business behavior is purposeful. The purpose of investing in Tianfu Cola and taking control of it is nothing more than several purposes: first, to take a fancy to the brand effect of Tianfu Cola, second, it has good assets, and third, to realize Pepsi Cola's entry into the mainland through this shell.

So judging from the current facts, after Pepsi took over, it did not expand the brand effect of Tianfu Cola, nor did it make full use of its assets or mortgage, on the contrary, you pressed the output of Tianfu Cola to the minimum, and produced Pepsi Cola in large quantities, so it can only be the third purpose, you buy Tianfu Cola, not to fancy this Coke, but also to invest in it to make it bigger and stronger, but to use Tianfu as a springboard for Pepsi Cola to enter the mainland. ”

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Thomas said calmly, "Pepsi is the actual controlling party, and of course Pepsi's interests should be given priority." ”

This brings us back to the original topic. Liang Yifei said: "Why do you want to buy Tianfu Cola, this question is clear, I don't think any local government on the mainland will allow it." ”
